11/02/2026 ODI #11775113.0

Vehicle is a 2025 Sierra 1500 Elevation and has made a rattling noise since purchase in May 2025. Radio had electrical issues and required full replacement. Two weeks ago, while driving home on the thruway, the vehicle began to shake violently and display critical warning errors on the infotainment system, locking up and slowing down. Once I pulled over and turned the vehicle off, it would not turn back on. Towed to dealership, where I was told it was a sensor issue that could be fixed the same day. A week later, I was told there was a bent valve that required repair. It has now been two full weeks with no updates on what's wrong with the vehicle or how long it will be under repair, but based on similar complaints, it appears that it will need a new engine since this is a known recurring i

While driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic, my vehicle suddenly lost all engine power, the accelerator became unresponsive and the dash indicated "press start". There were no warning lights, no messages, and no prior symptoms before the failure occurred. I was in an active traffic lane when this happened, which immediately placed me and others at risk of being rear-ended. After several seconds, and pressing the start button, the vehicle regained power. But the odometer was indicating I was going 30+ mph when I was going less than 10 mph, so I pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle is also was having issues with the lane keeping assistance was unavailable.

I own a 2025 GMC Sierra 1500. The rearview camera is inoperable at night (image is too dark). Brought vehicle into to purchasing dealer with complaint. After service, I was told that there was nothing they could do to correct the issue. I then contacted GMC customer service. They advised to bring the vehicle to a different dealer and upon completion to contact customer service again. I did as advised and took the vehicle to a second dealership with the same result. As you are aware, this is a violation of federal law and a serious safety issue for small children, pets or any object behind the vehicle in the dark. Based on what I have been able to discover there are many people with this same complaint. GM is not addressing this issue and is as unwilling to assist others as they have been
